MSNBC panel goes off the rail: You don't get to tell other people what racism is (VIDEO)

Chris Jansing had to referee her panelists as it went off the rails discussing Sean Spicer's disrespect of longtime White House journalist April Ryan. Was it racism? It got in-your-face heated.

Journalism Professor Jason Johnson was forced to put Trump apologist Matt Schlapp in his place as he attempted to marginalize his comments on Spicer's racism. It was clear Chris Jansing was about to say that she had never seen a reporter addressed in the manner Sean Spicer disrespected April Ryan after Matt Schlapp attempted to defend Sean Spicer's disrespect. But when he said it was not racism as a matter a fact the panel went off the rail shown in this excerpted.

the shaming effect that had.

I think all women, POC, any other oppressed population, can TOTALLY identify with that feeling.

It was like watching a slave master, I'm sorry to be hyperbolic, but that's how it looked to me: Spicer up on high; Ryan averting her eyes, looking down.

Hideous moment and very revealing.
